Great Scott! Brown Wins!

Yes, I used the Great Scott line again. Sorry, but I like it and I feel all clever and punny when I say it. I watched MSNBC tonight to follow along with the Coakley v. Brown election returns. Firstly, because I’m super nice — the things I do, so that you don’t have to. Secondly, because I knew it would be hilarious. Here’s a quick run-down as events unfolded (It’s like live-blogging, only on a taped delay. Just go with it):

My take so far on the Massachusetts Senate race. The good news: unfounded hubris no longer fools people. The bad news: I’m all about unwarranted arrogance, sigh.

Oh! Olbermann is totally pulling the tired, old You Are All Racists ™ angle and if Brown wins, that’s why. Thus, I am convinced Brown has, in fact, won. And won big.

Olbermann now saying that Brown’s pick-up truck was “code”. Hello? What happened to that whole “Post-Racial” deal? Did that mean “INVENT racism absolutely everywhere”? Also, Dear Olby: I drive a station wagon (shaddup). You know what that is “code” for? It’s code for “Olbermann stinks”.

Howard Dean also called himself a loser. Because right before he said “People who blame others are losers” — he blamed Bush. (P.S. Totally keep doing that, Democrats. It’s working out great! Thankies!)

SHOCKER: Rachel Maddow just divulged she also drives a truck. Never would have guessed! (Not that there’s anything wrong with that)

9:20 P.M. COAKLEY CONCEDES!

Maddow is totally crying! For reals! I’d feel sorta badly, if she wasn’t such a huge douche and all. Instead, I giggle madly! Okay, that’s a lie. I giggle-snorted. Yes, I actually snorted with mirth.

A Republican Senator. In MASSACHUSETTS. Now THAT is change that I CAN believe in.

Congratulations Senator Scott Brown. Thank you for the hope. The real kind.

Dear Democrats and Obama: VA, NJ and now MASSACHUSETTS. Um, face it. We really just aren’t that into you.

Okay, there is a look into what I do on election nights. Only, you know, sitting on my couch and saying the stuff out loud. I’m very glad my cockiness yesterday was not unfounded. And thank you, Massachusetts, for finally breaking out of your mass hypnosis!

P.S. Dude, everyone on MSNBC looks like John Kerry tonight. You know, because of the super long mope faces and all.

Terrific post. Lori! Love your site.
Still a bit in shock that the folks in Massachusetts did the right thing. Made the mistake of listening to Dean garble on about what they did right/wrong and trying to spin things on the fly. Didn’t sound much more coherent than when he “yelped!” when he was campaigning.
Must agree with “Pow”, that guy Maddox runs a good show.

Snark. And Boobs!

Exposing Asshattery in Washington, DC (and elsewhere if it makes me froth at the mouth), from a dame’s point of view. Hence, the snark and boobs. Probably should have said nag and boobs, but snark has a better ring to it. Contact info: Snarkandboobs@gmail.com

Stimulate Me!

Minds out of the gutter! Not THAT way. The Stimulus Package way. Oh .. that sounds just as bad. Oh, well.
